Our Beloved and Powerfully Exquisite Children
Responsibility
One of the principles for the Aziza journey is Responsibility. Please talk to our young people about what it means to be responsible. Consider examples of being responsible not only for belongings and other tangible items, but also what it means to be responsible for one's emotional and mental well-being as well.
"Today, more than ever before, life must be characterized by a sense of Universal responsibility, not only nation to nation and human to human, but also human to other forms of life."

The next Aziza Sleepover is May 17th - May 18th!
Cascade 5K
The Cascade 5K is next weekend! Saturday, May 18th we will take SouthWest Atlanta by storm! Don't forget to run & walk for 40 - 50 minutes several times this week. You should also include a couple of days for cross training to keep it fun.
Summer Fun
What are your darling ones doing this summer... Summer Camp? Visiting Family? Staying Home? Take the survey below to help the Aziza Elders get a good idea of when and where your darlings will be available for fun times.
Georgia Renaissance Festival
The weekend of May 25th we are thinking of taking a trip to the Georgia Renaissance Festival. If you are interested in you or your Aziza joining us, please let one of the Elders know so we can make arrangements.
Let the Sweat of your Brow be the Announcement of your Work!
The Cascade 5K is Saturday, May 18th. Please consider taking the time out of your schedule to run with the Aziza. We would like enough adults present to account for all of our children to keep them both safe and encouraged. If you don't feel like you can run for the full 3.1 miles - don't worry, neither can they. We just want to give them the opportunity to experience the satisfaction of training for and completing a challenging task. How much more would it mean to them if you experienced it right alongside them?? Please visit the Cascade 5K website and click on the picture for the full training schedule.
Aziza Fundraising!
We have lots of fun stuff coming up, including our 5K next weekend; and those fun things cost money. What we would like to do, rather than continuously tax the parents for funds, is to have the Aziza become more responsible for earning the money needed for the upcoming events.
Beginning this Friday, the Aziza will begin a fundraiser. For this fundraiser, the children will offer up their services to the community in the form of chore coupons. Patrons can buy $1, $2, $5, or $10 chore coupons redeemable at any time within the next calendar year. We will prepare the fundraising form and coupons and provide them to the parents and Aziza this Friday. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us.
